[Talk-ca] Canvec.osm Product almost...

[Sam Vekemans]

Cool idea :)
(i don't actually use validator) as i know its not all correct
'validations', but i should probably take iniciative and work to fix
it :)

Anyway, please do describe the 'errors', so we can go through the list
and see what Daniel & the CanVec product team can possably fix.

I don't see it as a 'pain' to fix, since we need local area mappers to
help validate the data. But yes, if their is stuff like
'unclaSsified', it all helps remove the need to create a 'CanVec
cleanup Bot' sometime down the road.

Cheers,
Sam
